Sarangkot stands at only 1592 meters high and a climb up takes about 3 hours if completed from the trail near the Phewa Lake in Pokhara. It is also possible to cheat and take a taxi (for around 100 NPR) up there. From the taxi drop off point there is a lookout point so if you are really unfit this is the best place to get some really great pictures of the Annapurna Ranges. Failing that, you can continue up a mixture of concrete steps and footpaths to the top for really majestic views. It is meant to take 45 minutes and the climb is a little strenuous, but it kind of takes your breath away when you see the full glory of the Himalayas.
